The (excellent) ElementLibrary ads namespaces to each element when
writing the tree back to a file.
Say I do:
tree = ET.parse('playlist.xml')
<snip: adding/removing elements>
tree.write(outFile)
with the following XML:
=============
<playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/">
<trackList>
<track>
<title>Kick off!</title>
</track>
</trackList>
</playlist>
=============
Writing the tree out after adding/removing elements results in:
=============
<ns0:playlist version="1" xmlns:ns0="http://xspf.org/ns/0/">
<ns0:trackList>
<ns0:track
<ns0:title>Kick off!</ns0:title>
</ns0:track>
</ns0:trackList>
</ns0:playlist>
=============
Unfortunately the client that needs to consume this XML can't handle
the 'ns0:' part of each tag. Is there a way to output XML similar to
the input?
